Ah, interesting.  It's texlive-latex-recommended that Recommends:
latex-beamer.  

One part of the fix is going to be:

However, this won't solve the real problem.  xcolor is in
collection-latexrecommended.tpm, blacklisted, and
texlive-latex-recommended Recommends: latex-xcolor.  Still, the
description of texlive-latex-recommended mentions xcolor.

This requires a fix to tpm2deb.pl, I'll have a look.  Thanks for
reporting,

Frank
